Over the past two decades, the increase of environmental concerns and shortage of petroleum resources have provoked a growing interest in the use of natural fibers as an alternative to synthetic fibers for the reinforcement of composites. Natural fibers possess desirable specific properties including biodegradability, renewability and low-cost. In addition, they have densities much lower than synthetic fibers, which makes them interesting for different applications ranging from automotive parts to packaging. Despite their benefits, certain drawbacks such as incompatibility with the hydrophobic polymer matrix, a tendency to form aggregates during processing and a poor resistance to moisture absorption, reduce the potential of these fibers to...
